handle directly into the charging ring while the SmartPlug is plugged in.
• A battery symbol should appear in the SmartDisplay. The
Full Charge
battery symbol will fill up while the handle is being charged and «Charging» will be displayed. When the handle is fully charged, the SmartDisplay shows «Full Charge». A full charge takes at least 12 hours and enables approximately two weeks of regular brushing.
Please note: If the battery symbol is not displayed immediately, continue charging. It will appear in 10 – 15 minutes.
• When the rechargeable battery is low, the bars of the battery symbol will disappear and «Low» will be displayed. Your toothbrush will slow down and then stop. It is time to recharge Braun Oral-B Denta-Pride. When the battery is fully discharged, «Empty» is displayed. It will then need a 15-minute charge before you can use it for a 2-minute brushing (twice a day, 2 minutes).
• For everyday use, the toothbrush handle can be stored on the charging unit to maintain it at full power. There is no risk of overcharging the battery.
• To maintain the maximum capacity of the rechargeable battery, unplug the charging unit and fully discharge the handle by regular use at least every 6 months. Braun Oral-B Denta-Pride is convenient for travelling because you only need the compact SmartPlug charger and an appropriate travel adapter for recharging in foreign countries. For electric specifications, see printing on the SmartPlug.

The «2-Minute Timer» indicates by a long stuttering sound when the dentist recommended 2-minute brushing time has been reached. The «Professional Timer» helps you brush all four quadrants of your mouth equally. It signals with a short stuttering sound at 30-second intervals that it is time to move to the next quadrant of your mouth, followed by a long stuttering sound when you reach the recommended two minute mark.

Using Braun Oral-B Denta-Pride
Using Braun Oral-B Denta-Pride
Attach a Braun Oral-B brush head to the handle. You can use any kind of toothpaste. To avoid splashing, guide the brush head to your teeth before switching the appliance on.

Brushing technique
• Guide the brush head slowly from tooth to tooth.
• Hold the brush head in place for a few seconds before moving on to the next tooth.
• Brush the gums as well as the teeth, first the outsides, then the insides, finally the chewing surfaces.
• Do not press too hard or scrub, simply let the brush do all the work.
To help you get optimum brushing results, Braun Oral-B Denta-Pride has a pressure control feature to ensure that the right degree of pressure is applied. This helps protect your gums from excessive brushing and makes your toothbrush easy to operate. If too much pressure is applied, the oscillating movement of the brush head will continue but the pulsation will stop. In addition to feeling the change, you can also hear a different sound.

Brushing modes Braun Oral-B Denta-Pride offers different brushing modes
for varying oral care needs:
«Clean» – Exceptional mouth cleaning. «Soft» – Gentle, yet thorough cleaning for sensitive
areas. «Massage» – Gentle stimulation of gums. «Polish» – Exceptional polishing and natural whitening for
occasional or everyday use (deluxe model only).
How to switch between brushing modes:
Braun Oral-B Denta-Pride automatically starts in the
«Clean» mode when pressing the on/off button.
• To shift from the «Clean» to the «Soft» mode, press the
brushing mode button once.
• If you wish to switch to the «Massage» mode, press the
brushing mode button again and let the brush head pulse against your gum line.
• The «Polish» mode (deluxe model only) is best used with a
Professional White brush head. Once the Professional White brush head is attached, press the on/off button and your toothbrush automatically starts in the «Polish» mode (please see «Brush heads»).
• To return from any mode to the «Clean» mode, press and
hold the brushing mode button.
• To turn your brush off, press the on/off button.
During brushing, the SmartDisplay shows the brushing mode you have selected, followed by your actual brushing time. When you finish brushing, the total brushing time will be displayed for 30 seconds before the display switches back to the battery charge level. To directly get to the battery charge level display, you can clear the brushing time display by pushing the brushing mode button. In the first few days of using Braun Oral-B Denta-Pride, your gums may bleed slightly. In general, bleeding should stop after a few days. Should it persist after 2 weeks, please consult your dentist or hygienist. If you have sensitive teeth and gums, Oral-B recommends using the «Soft» mode.
Brush heads & accessories
The Braun Oral-B FlossAction and Professional White brush heads contain a «smart chip» to communicate with the electronics inside the Braun Oral-B Denta-Pride handle. The «smart chip» works for you, automatically switching to the appropriate brushing mode for the attached brush head. Nevertheless, you can select other brushing modes to customize your routine.
Oral-B
Braun Oral-B FlossAction br
ush head The Braun Oral-B FlossAction brush head is recommended for everyday deep cleaning. It features Micropulse bristles that get deep in hard-to-reach areas between your teeth, gently removing plaque. The brush head’s outer bristles surround each tooth, providing exceptional overall plaque removal.

Braun Oral-B Pr The Braun Oral-B Professional White brush head is for occasional or everyday polishing. It features a dentist-inspired polishing cup to remove stains from coffee, tea and tobacco for effective brightening. We do not recommend using the Braun Oral-B Professional White or Braun Oral-B FlossAction brush head with braces. The Braun Oral-B Ortho brush head is specifically designed to clean around braces and wires and can be used with the Braun Oral-B Denta-Pride toothbrush.
Re
placement brush heads Dentists recommend that you change your brush head every three months. As soon as your Braun Oral-B FlossAction or Professional White brush head has surpassed the recommended usage, the SmartDisplay shows «Replace Brushhead». Replace with a new brush head to get optimum brushing results. If you notice unusual wear before receiving the «Replace Brush head» message, replace your brush head immediately.
T
ongue Freshener The Tongue Freshener helps freshen breath by removing odor-causing bacteria from the tongue. It can be used everyday – before or after brushing. You can use mouthwash with the Tongue Freshener. Attach it to the handle, turn the appliance on and drag it across the tongue back to front. We recommend a low speed setting for enhancend control during use. Rinse after use. Replace the Tongue Freshener when materials become worn.
